Grief and Bereavement
Understanding Grief and Loss
Grief is personal and won’t ever be experienced by two individuals in exactly the same way. That person alone knows the depth of their grief and they need to listen to their own inner coping strategies. There are some people who get stuck at a certain point in their grieving journey and find they cannot move on.
If emotions are just as painful and have the same level of intensity after a considerable lapse in time, it is advisable to seek professional help. Such a decision takes courage and strength but can save unnecessary isolation in reaching a place of resolution and acceptance.
Home Based Care
Our palliative-trained nursing sisters visit patients in their own homes. The nursing sister co-ordinates the care and liaises with other hospice team members such as the doctor, social worker, community care workers and other professionals who may be involved in treating the patient.
What does our Home-Based Care consist of:
Home Based Nursing
We place trained care-workers in the patient’s home to care for the patient’s needs. The care, according to the patient’s need, can be from one day a week to up to 24 hour nursing, alternating between two care-workers.
In Patient Unit (IPU)
Most people choose to receive hospice care in their homes; however, when a symptom such as pain cannot be managed in the home, patients can choose to receive care in our inpatient hospice unit.
Who Qualifies for Hospice
Hospice can offer its services to anyone who has been diagnosed with a life-limiting illness, irrespective of their social, cultural, spiritual, financial or religious points of view or standing.
